Falcons open as 11-point favorites against Dolphins

The Falcons had two weeks to stew on their Week 3 loss against the Bills. They also had two weeks to regroup and prepare for the Dolphins.

Either way, the Falcons are coming off their bye week and the oddsmakers over at Odds Shark like their chances, as they list Atlanta as an early 11-point favorite for Sunday’s game against Miami.

The big spread is all about how terrible the Dolphins offense has been lately, as they currently rank dead last in points per game, passing yards per game and rushing yards per game. The second worse offense in the NFL isn’t even in Miami’s zip code.

Atlanta’s defense needs to get their takeaway game going, but they should have no problem shutting down Jay Cutler and Jay Ajayi, who is only averaging 65 rushing yards per game.

The early over/under is set at 47.

We’ll whether the line changes in any way, but most likely the Falcons will head into Sunday as a double-digit favorite.
